Mount Rinjani Lombok

Mount Rinjani Lombok island 3,726 metres above sea level

Mount Rinjani is the second highest volcano in Indonesia after mount Kerinci on Sumatra. A Mount Rinjani trekking tour is not for novice hikers or casual travellers, good stamina is needed and exercise before climbing.

At 3,726 metres above sea level, Mount Rinjani looms large over the entire island of Lombok in Indonesia. It is this power that draws hundreds of intrepid climbers to Rinjani every day.

There are several routes on Rinjani. The three main routes are the following: from Sembalun Lawang on the eastern side, from Senaru on the northern side and from the Torean trekking route on the middle side of the mountain.

Sembalun Trek route

Trekking route through savanna meadows with gentle winds, with climbs and descents that will be encountered along the Sembalun route.

The rugged hills and stunning views help relieve fatigue, unlike the covered tropical rainforest on the Senaru route. From POS 2 to POS 3, climbing is still manageable. The challenge for the Sembalun route is from POS 3 to POS Extra, because the uphill slope can sometimes be 50 degrees.

Senaru Trek Route

This route offers a cool hiking trail. The first part of the journey is through the tropical rainforest. Watch and listen to langurs, or black monkeys, swinging through the trees in the early morning hours.

From post 2 at an altitude of 1,500 m to post 3 at an altitude of 2,000 m, we will pass through a very dense tropical forest. From post 3 to the crater Rim of Senaru, the stunning scenery will be seen as an encouragement to keep going.

Torean Trek Route

New trekking route from Torean village 40 minutes from Senaru village, West Lombok. The Torean trekking route is very popular for trekkers who want to go straight to the lake on the same day.

The path is flatter than the Senaru or Sembalun trails, but the trekking path is longer than other trekking routes. The total journey takes about 9 hours, from the starting point to the lake camp area. The trails are great and fantastic

  It’s definitely a wonderful experience to go surf with Nayaka. It’s an unique way not only to learn surf but also experience the local culture and Lombok’s passion.

  i loved everything about my surf week in lombok! the instructors were super friendly and cheerful, making you feel immediately at home, and they were helpful and patient in teaching the basics and in correcting the mistakes, always with a smile. everything went smoothly, from the arrival to the hotel to the daily transfers to the beach. i surfed only 6 days and i fell in love with it, and i’m sure it’s in great part thanks to them. i can’t wait to be back, and i miss everything about it already.

  Dit is een hele fijne surfschool voor alle niveaus. Hele leuke instructeurs die goed weten wat ze doen. Senggigi is de mooiste plek waar ik heb gesurfd. Ik kreeg ook nog beeldmateriaal van de video analyse toegestuurd. Ik kom graag nog eens terug!

  I did 4 days of surfing with them mainly at Klui beach. I’ve done some surfing but still am very much a beginner. I have taken quite a few surfing lessons in many places mostly in the US and LATAM. A bit in Bali.

This school is up there with my top favorites. Wayan and his team (Bagoes the camera and Bayu another instructor) are knowledgeable, seasoned instructors that will give you valuable feedback and tips. They’re also very nice people to spend time with. They provide wetsuits and reef shoes which I find helpful for the rocky bottom and very sunny weather. The videos taken of you surfing were also very useful to give you insight for how you did. Klui / Senggigi in April were quite flat but with some decent, mellow waves on a good day, perfect for real beginners. I think for beginners-intermediates you need to check with them when is a good time for bigger waves. Price is higher than your average beach surf shops in Indo but you’ll get what you pay for.

If you’re looking for a surf school in Lombok to try out surfing or up your beginner/intermediate skill, this is the one.

  This is my second time returning to this place. The last time I visited was a year ago, and my surfing skills were quite rusty. Fortunately, the instructors were very patient and helpful in correcting my mistakes, and I was back riding the waves in no time. They also take pictures and videos of you surfing that you get to keep.

I will definitely return again and would highly recommend Nayaka to anyone who wants to learn how to surf, or an intermediate surfer who wants to take their surfing skills to the next level!

  Very good experience with the Nayaka Surf School crew.
Very good advices (in english) that allowed the beginners to enjoy their first waves with maximum security.
Thanks again!

  My girlfriend and I booked a semi-private surfing course for beginners and it was an amazing experience and so much fun.
They have a great team with people who like what they do and they really looked after us.

  Das Surfcamp hat richtig viel Spaß gemacht und war auch lehrreich. Die Surflehrer waren alle nett und das Equipment relativ neu. Die Unterkunft war gut, lediglich das Frühstück war nicht ganz so toll. Der Service war aber sehr zuvorkommend. Nur etwas Obst wäre noch toll gewesen.
